This week Dan is joined by pod stalwart Andrew Beasley (@basstunedtored) whilst Dr Will Morgan (@willTGM) returns for a 2nd appearance. The lads take an in-depth look at the Premier League relegation battle and discuss the Sean Ingle Brentford/Matthew Benham blog (Click Here) and how football clubs are moving to data-driven operations.

Welcome to episode 12 of the Red Room with Graeme Kelly & my Co-Host Jay Riley. Today the lads are joined by the Chairman of the Liverpool supporters club, Les Lawson, who has also appeared in the match day programmes and on LFCTV.

Topics:

- Southampton game review & can we get top 4 now, are Man Utd the team to catch.

This week Dan is joined by Man City fan Ben Pugsley (@BenjaminPugsley) and Spurs fan James Yorke (@jair1970) for an in-depth look at those 2 clubs. The lads also debate the various football metrics that are being more commonplace and which ones might be useful and which ones not.

Topics: What should Liverpool's priority be before the Besiktas match? Assessing each potential piece of silverware and our chances in the Premier League. Has this season been a success so far? What will be a successful season? The eleven match winning streak and the difference between that chaos, and this season's turnaround. Why winning the Europa League is the ideal scenario: we qualify for the Champions League, at the group stage; we improve our standing and experience in Europe; and finally, and most importantly... our kids will have a story.

This special global edition of the Anfield Index Premier League Preview Show looks forward to the clash between the two form teams in the Premier League, Southampton and Liverpool. Kaylon (AI South Africa) hosts Leroy (Ai Malaysia), Erik (AI Sweden) and Martin (AI Norway). Joining them to make his AI podcast debut is American AI writer Dylan Baker.

The panel gives their impressions of the season had thus far by the Saints and their manager Ronald Koeman as well as how Southampton has changed their approach over the course of the season.

Attention then turns to the tactical battle that will take place between the two systems. Here particular discussion focuses on the possible roles of Sturridge, Balotelli, Allen and Can, as well as the iterations around Lovren, Manquillo and the more established defensive unit. The topic how fatigue and rotation would affect the possible LFC setup for the game is also explored.
